Commission hears plan to add QR-code bumper stickers to emergency vehicles for application access
Summary
A commissioner reported talks with police and fire staff about placing QR-code bumper stickers on squad cars and fire trucks so people can scan and access applications; the idea is under review and the fire department is working on a QR code, but no formal action was taken.
Commissioners discussed a plan Sept. 10 to place QR-code bumper stickers on emergency vehicles so the public can scan and access application forms.
Unidentified Speaker 3 said they had “talked to Matt Mastison” and described how police cars already have bumper stickers with a QR code so “anybody can scan it and they can get applications and be able to fill out a application that way.” The speaker added the fire department “is in the process of getting a QR code to be able to do that with” and said the intended placement would be on the vehicle sides near the 911 markings for visibility.
Why it matters: QR codes on visible emergency vehicles could make applications more accessible to residents who encounter those vehicles in public, but commissioners raised placement and readability questions (for example, tread-plate surfaces on truck backs). No motion or vote was recorded; the subject will return to staff for follow-up.
The presiding speaker and other commissioners encouraged staff to explore options and report back when more details are available.
